Summer Essentials for the Fashion Girl

Take a cue from the it-girls and learn what they do this time of year. I, for one, do an immense wardrobe cleanse. Getting rid of things I don’t use anymore to make room for the essentials. I know it’s not an easy task as there will always be room for that skirt we bought and never wore. But take it from a girl who lives in a New York apartment with limited closet space – which I have to share with my husband. Decluttering becomes essential every season.

Without further ado, here are my must-have-summer-essentials list for every girl no matter where you’re going this summer:

Basket Style Bag: The basket bag is a must-have this season. Every girl is carrying some variation of it. And fortunately for us, there’s no need to go bankrupt to get a cute bag you can carry all summer.

Just take your pick!

Vintage Sunglasses: This summer, you can hide all the hangovers behind cute and vintage-looking sunglasses. Whether you’re a cat eye lady, a retro spinner, or a colorful chap, there are a lot of different styles to choose from.

We’re back in the 80’s baby!

Tropical Prints: I was vouching for this day to come. The day when tropical prints leave the obscurity and become acceptable to wear in daylight. I love to combine prints and summer could not be complete with a palm tree shirt or a pair of cute little pineapple shorts.

Go crazy, mix and match and have fun!

Rompers, Jumpers, Onesies: Summer can be a dread with the days being so hot, which means strutting around the city can be uncomfortable, sticky, and sweaty. My best and greatest solution? One pieces! They are fresh, comfy, and come in all shapes and sizes.
